What People Are Saying About Me

W. Nikola-Lisa presented his stories to us in a whole different way than we had experienced his books. He had an antique suitcase filled with surprises to accompany his stories. He pulled out the harmonica and played for the students, sang verses to his stories, used puppets for visuals, wore silly glasses, had the students swaying in their seats as he engaged the children in his wonderful stories....W. Nikola-Lisa’s author visit is one our students will remember! Pamela Jackson, Media Specialist, Walker’s Grove Elementary School, Plainfield, Illinois


Upbeat, energizing, and engaging...W. Nikola-Lisa brings text to life with music, story and theater. He captures the audience and takes them on a journey into the creation and life of his books. An exceptional children's author who hooks students into the reading and writing process. W. Nikola-Lisa has been a repeat visitor to our school. Jenny Wojcik, Former Principal, Oak School, Hinsdale, Illinois.


Thank you so much for your presentations at Glen Acres.  The true testament of your impact is that our kids, three months later, are still talking about you, singing your songs, and your books go out of the library as soon as they are checked back in.  You inspired our kids to love reading, storytelling, and the love of all literature, not just your own. Lauralee Foerster, Glen Acres Elementary School, Lafayette, Indiana


W. Nikola-Lisa captured our audience of over 3,500 children grades kindergarten through fifth engaging students with his stories, as well as those of other well-known authors....Through music, puppets and drama, the author brought books to life and inspired children to read and write. Students returned to school motivated to read, sing his books, and write their own stories. W. Nikola-Lisa was an inspiration to our young writers at the Marquette-Alger Young Author Conference. Shane Burback and Marcie Cox, Marquette-Alger Young Authors Conference, Marquette, Michigan
